This day has been a disaster, but not quite, especially when I found out that I cannot get my certification from the main office of the Civil Service Commission, but I had to get it from the Regional Office where I took the exam - in this case, Cebu.

I woke up at around 8am, because I was trying to adjust my body clock to a GY schedule, since starting Tuesday, I SHOULD be a night person. Then I went to the Kaliraya office of the Commission, but they told me that since I took the exam in Cebu, my certification is with them...

After knowing that, I decided to go to the Main Office at Batasan Hills in Quezon City, hoping that they might have a copy. (They were the main office after all.) But lo and behold, all certifications from the regional offices will be sent to the main office after 6 months before they can encode it to the main database!

How's that for efficiency and convenience. No wonder people are taking to the streets in protest of Gloria! It was also shocking to see that this office pales in comparison to other national offices. And to think that all public servants have to be scrutinized by said department, yet it seems that the Commission is the poorest and filthiest. Sheesh...

They better suit up and improve their services if they expect people to enter the government service.

the ranger. at a glance.

Not to sound too repetitive, or part of a cliche, but in reality I am still lost; trying really hard to find my way through life, although I have made it all the way to 23 years old. I still do not know who I am, what I represent, what I want to be, what I hope I want to be. Sometimes I feel I am a cockroach, trying to be hidden but certainly cannot avoid being seen. Sometimes I would like to think I am a cat preening myself so that everyone can see the sheen of my fur, the sway of my hips, the cunning ability I take on challenges. But maybe I am just a cow: grazing my way through life so that when somebody needs to be satisfied, I am ready to be fed to the masses. FUBAR? Maybe...
